Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved process for the combustion of sludge waste in a municipal solid waste incinerator. More particularly, this invention relates to a process wherein the sludge is dewatered and the dewatered sludge is divided into fine particles. The process also comprises introducing the sludge at a particular point in the combustion zone and enriching the combustion air with oxygen.
  • Sewage sludge is a byproduct of wastewater treatment, either primary or secondary.
  • the disposal of sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants is a growing environmental problem throughout the world, especially in the United States, Europe and Japan.
  • the dumping of sludge into the ocean has recently been banned, such as, for example, western Europe and the United States.
  • Present methods for disposal of sewage sludge include landfilling, land application, composting and pelletization for making fertilizers, incineration, and wet oxidation.
  • Land application, composting, and pelletization which attempt to utilize the sludge as a fertilizer, have quality requirements on such things as the heavy metals content in the sludge. If these limitations are exceeded, disposal options are normally limited to landfilling, incineration, and wet oxidation. In highly industrial areas such as the northeastern United States, southeastern Canada, western Europe and Japan, a compounding of factors further aggravates the sludge disposal problem. In these areas sludge volumes tend to be the highest, sludge quality is often poor (high heavy metals), and landfill space is scarce.
  • MSW Municipal solid waste
  • Raw sewage sludge from wastewater treatment is essentially a liquid slurry, and normally contains only 2 to 4 wt% solids in water.
  • wastewater treatment plants often dewater the sludge to between 15 and 30 wt% solids by mechanical means. Mechanical dewatering causes a drastic change in the physical properties of sewage sludge, converting it from a liquid slurry to a moist solid, with a consistency similar to wet dirt or mud.
  • Raw sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment plant normally contains 2 to 4 wt% solids. Additional thickening equipment can increase the solids content possibly as high as 8 wt% solids. The thickened sludge, however, still has the physical properties of a flowable liquid slurry.
  • U.S. Patent 3,322,079 describes a method and apparatus for incinerating sewage sludge and municipal waste.
  • the apparatus described is comprised of an incinerator housing with a traveling or conveying grate for solid waste fuel.
  • a device such as a centrifugal atomizer, is used to feed sludge into the combustion gases above the bed of burning solid waste.
  • the atomizer is installed in a drying chamber, an extension of the combustion chamber, that requires a hot gas recirculating blower to contribute to the centrifugal dispersion of sludge particles, and also to heat the sludge to ignition temperature.
  • dewatered sludge is obtained by mechanical processing (such as a belt press, filter press, or centrifuge), and normally contains between 15 and 30 wt% solids.
  • Attempts to coincinerate dewatered sludge with MSW have been limited to very low ratios of sludge relative to MSW.
  • Dewatered sludge feed methods have included premixing the sludge and MSW in the MSW storage pit, dropping the sludge into the MSW feed chute, and spreading the sludge directly on the burning bed of trash via elaborate mechanical means.
  • the present invention solves the above problems to enable the successful coincineration of mechanically dewatered sewage sludge, containing from 15 to 30 wt% solids, with MSW in high ratios, for example, 10 wt%, or more (e.g., 15% or even greater), sludge (dry basis) to MSW.
  • the upper limits on sludge flowrate and solids content are not limited by the sludge atomization nozzle or oxygen-enriched coincineration process, but by the sludge feed system.
  • a single dual-fluid nozzle should be able to feed dewatered sludges as high as 25 to 30 wt% solids.
  • the upper limit on sludge to MSW will be set by other constraints that will vary with the incinerator design, such as flue gas dew point (which increases due the moisture in the sludge), or oxygen compatibility of the combustion air ducts which will limit the level of oxygen enrichment.
  • thermal drying of the sludge This can be accomplished in either direct or indirect contact equipment, such as, for example, heat recovery from the combustion flue gas.
  • Thermally dried sludge can contain from 60 to 90+ wt% solids. Thermal drying also causes significant physical changes to the sludge, producing a very dry, powdery product that ignites and burns easily.
  • This patented process employs the synergistic combination of oxygen enrichment with the high moisture content in the waste, which enables the coincineration of large quantities of the wet waste in an existing MSW incinerator without changing the combustion temperature, excess oxygen in the flue gas, and flue gas flowrate.
  • This patented process also is sufficiently broad so as to encompass the utilization of just water (i.e., 100% moisture, 0% solids).
  • the present invention addresses issues such as the means or manner for introducing sewage sludge, or other similar high moisture material having a BTU or fuel value, into an MSW incinerator to ensure that it dries and burns completely within the limitations of that system (grate design, furnace residence time, temperature, etc.) and which combustion air streams should be enriched to optimize the combustion process on the basis of carbon burnout in the ash and gaseous emissions of CO and NO x .
  • the present invention relates to an improvement in a process for the co-incineration of a solid waste (e.g., MSW) and a relative high moisture content material having a significant solid particulate content and fuel value (e.g., sewage sludge) in an incineration system
  • a solid waste e.g., MSW
  • a relative high moisture content material having a significant solid particulate content and fuel value (e.g., sewage sludge)
  • an incineration system comprising a combustion zone containing a grate on which the solid waste is combusted, means for introducing the solid waste onto the grate, means for introducing combustion supporting air into the combustion zone and means for introducing the high moisture content material into the combustion zone.
  • the means for introducing combustion supporting air into the combustion zone includes primary air inlet means for introducing combustion supporting air at a point beneath the grate and secondary air inlet means for introducing combustion supporting air at a point above the grate.
  • the process comprises com
  • the particular improvement of this invention comprises adjusting the solids content of the high moisture content material to the range from about 15 to about 30 per cent by weight, finely dividing the high moisture content material to particles smaller than about 1000 microns, introducing the high moisture content material into the combustion zone at a point above the solid waste on the grate, but no higher than the point at which the secondary air is introduced into the combustion zone, and enriching at least a portion of the combustion supporting air with oxygen to an oxygen concentration of at least about 21 per cent by volume.
  • the high moisture content material such as dewatered sewage sludge
  • the high moisture content material is reduced to particle sizes which average less than about 500 microns and advantageously the particle sizes are less than about 250 microns or smaller.
  • the amount of enrichment oxygen added to the combustion zone is usually at least about 0.5 pounds of oxygen per pound of dry solids contained in the high moisture content material and, preferably, is at least about 3.5 pounds of oxygen per pound of dry solids contained in the high moisture content material. Conversely, the amount of enrichment oxygen added to the combustion zone is usually no more than about 8 pounds of oxygen per pound of dry solids contained in the high moisture content material and, preferably, is no more than about 5.5 pounds of oxygen per pound of dry solids contained in the high moisture content material.
  • the solid particulate matter in the high moisture content material can be finely divided by any means known to the art, such as by mechanical means prior to introduction into the combustion zone. It is preferred, however, that the high moisture content material be finely divided by introducing the high moisture content material into the combustion zone by means of a dual-fluid atomizer which utilizes a secondary atomizing medium; whereby the solid particulate matter is broken up.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an incineration system which includes the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a dual-fluid atomizer used for introducing sludge into a combustion zone.
  • FIG. 1 shows an incineration system comprising a combustion zone 10 which contains a series of rollers 12 which together constitute a roller grate apparatus 14 on which solid waste material as shown by Ref. 16 can be combusted.
  • a waste material such as municipal solid waste, is introduced (from a source not shown) into hopper 18 from whence it flows downwardly to ram feeder 20.
  • the municipal solid waste 16 is then pushed by ram feeder 20 out onto the higher end of the roller grate apparatus 14.
  • each of the rollers 12 is rotated in a manner so that the municipal solid waste is mixed, agitated, and moved to the lower end of roller grate apparatus 14 while being combusted as it moves across the surface of the roller grate apparatus 14.
  • the gaseous combustion products are removed from the combustion zone 10 by means of heat recovery and flue system 36.
  • the ash remaining from the combustion of the municipal solid waste 16 falls from the lower end of roller grate apparatus 14 and passes by means of gravity through conduit 38 to an ash pit (not shown).
  • sewage sludge is passed by means of line 40 to a mechanical dewatering means 42 wherein the sludge is dewatered so as to increase its solids content from a level of less than about 5% (typical of most municipal sewage sludges) up to a level in the range from about 15% to about 30% by weight solids.
  • a mechanical dewatering means 42 wherein the sludge is dewatered so as to increase its solids content from a level of less than about 5% (typical of most municipal sewage sludges) up to a level in the range from about 15% to about 30% by weight solids.
  • Any of the well known types of mechanical dewatering apparatus such as, filter presses, belt presses, centrifuges are suitable for use in this invention.
  • the dewatered sewage sludge is then removed from dewatering device 42 by means of line 43 and then pumped by means of pump 45 and delivered to dual fluid atomizer 46 (or an equivalent device capable of breaking up the sludge into particles of less than 1000 microns, preferably less than about 500 microns) via conduit 44.
  • dual fluid atomizer 46 or an equivalent device capable of breaking up the sludge into particles of less than 1000 microns, preferably less than about 500 microns
  • atomization air inlet line 48 by which air is drawn into compressor 50 where it is compressed to the desired pressure and flow rate and then passed by means of lines 52 and 54 to dual fluid atomizer 46.
  • the compressed atomization air introduced into the dual fluid atomizer 46 by means of line 54 functions to break up and finely divide the dewatered sewage sludge introduced into dual fluid atomizer 46 by means of conduit 44.
  • the finely divided sewage sludge is introduced from dual fluid atomizer 46 into combustion zone 10 at a point above the roller grate apparatus 14 but below the level at which secondary air is introduced into combustion zone 10 by means of line 34.
  • FIG. 1 Also illustrated in Figure 1 is the capability of employing oxygen enrichment in this incineration system.
  • oxygen from a source not shown
  • the oxygen from fan 58 is passed by means of line 60 to valved lines 62 and 64 as shown in Figure 1.
  • Valved line 62 is provided with a valve 66 downstream of which three separate valved lines 68a, 68b and 68c interconnect line 66 with lines 28a, 28b, and 28c, respectively.
  • Valved lines 68a, 68b and 68c are also provided with valves 70a, 70b and 70c, respectively.
  • oxygen line 62 also connects with line 54 at a point downstream of its connection with line 68c.
  • the portion of line 62 between the connection with line 68c and its connection with line 54 is provided with another valve 72.
  • FIG. 1 also shows that valved line 64 which interconnects oxygen line 60 with secondary air line 34 contains valve 74.
  • valves 74, 70a, 70b and 70c are also possible to provide oxygen enrichment only to the atomization air and the dual fluid atomizer by means of closing valves 74, 70a, 70b and 70c, while leaving valves 66 and 72 open. It is also possible to provide oxygen enrichment to the primary air, secondary air and atomization air by opening valves 66, 70a, 70b, 70c, 72 and 74. By adjusting the setting of each of these valves, one can also separately control the oxygen enrichment to each of the streams.
  • valves 70a, 70b, 70c and 74 could be varied, including a mode of operation wherein valves 70a, 70b, 70c and 74 are completely closed.
  • FIG 2 there is shown a cross-sectional view of dual fluid atomizer 46.
  • this device consists of a generally cylindrical member 110 having a central inner passageway 112 of generally circular cross-section through which the dewatered sewage sludge of line 44 in FIG 1 flows.
  • the atomizing gas of line 54 in FIG 1 either air, oxygen or, preferably oxygen-enriched air, flows through this outer passageway 114.
  • the outer annular passageway 114 terminates at the exit end of dual fluid atomizer 46 in a series of exit ports 120 disposed at an acute angle to the axis of cylindrical member 110 so as to cause the atomizing gas flowing through the outer passageway 114 and through ports 120 to impinge upon the dewatered sludge exiting from inner passageway 112.
  • the direction of flow of the dewaterd sludge from inner passageway 112 and the atomizing gas from ports 120 is indicated by arrows in FIG 2. It is through this action of the atomizing gas impinging upon the exiting dewatered sludge that the solids in the sludge are broken up into finely divided particles.
  • the extent of atomization and solids break-up can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure, velocity and angle of the atomization gas exiting from ports 120.
  • an angle of about 45 degrees between the axis of cylindrical member 110 and ports 120 and employing an atomizing gas pressure exit pressure in the range from about 50 to about 80 psig, preferably about 60 to about 70 psig is quite effective to break up the dewatered sludge into particles of less than about 1000 microns and usually less than about 500 microns. It is particularly preferred to break up the dewaterd sludge into particles smaller than about 250 or even 100 microns. It will be understood that the smaller the particle the better, but the above limits are quite satisfactory.
  • a rotary atomizer in which the sludge is pushed out of holes on the perimeter of a disk rotating at a high speed causing the sludge to be sheared into small particles, is satisfactory to divide the sludge into particles smaller than about 1000 microns.
  • a dual fluid nozzle of the type illustrated in FIG 2 wherein the sludge exiting the center conduit is impacted on all sides by high velocity gas jets, which tear the sludge into tiny particles smaller than 1000 microns, usually smaller than an average of about 250 microns.
  • substantially any pressurized gas including nitrogen, steam, methane, air, oxygen-enriched air or pure oxygen, can be used in the dual fluid nozzle, we prefer to employ oxygen-enriched air.
  • the atomization fluid When air or oxygen is used as the atomization fluid, it serves the dual purpose of providing a portion of the combustion air to the incineration process and providing the energy for atomizing the dewatered sewage sludge.
  • a dual fluid atomizer was employed using either air or oxygen as the atomizing gas at a pressure of 65 psig.
  • the practice of this invention permits the incineration of dewatered sewage sludge, typically containing between 15 and 30 wt% solids, in the combustion zone of an MSW incinerator, while maintaining the design combustion conditions in the furnace, i.e. the combustion temperature, flue gas excess oxygen content, and flue gas flowrate, substantially unchanged from those encountered when incinerating MSW alone.
  • the process of this invention is capable of incinerating dewatered sewage sludge containing between about 13 and about 17 wt% solids.
  • the demonstrated ratios of sludge to MSW ranged from about 3.8 to about 11.0 % on a dry sludge basis. During these runs the combustion efficiency remained substantially equivalent to the baseline operation, as measured by the flue gas CO concentrations and bottom/fly ash carbon contents.
  • MSW is incinerated in a system as illustrated in FIG 1 with dewatered sewage sludge being introduced at a point above the grate but below the point of secondary air introduction.
  • No oxygen enrichment of the primary or secondary air is utilized and only oxygen enrichment of the atomization air is practiced.
  • the oxygen enrichment is controlled so as to maintain an oxygen concentration at a level of less than about 70% by volume. In various situations the oxygen concentration can be held to concentrations of less than about 60%, and even less than about 40%.
  • the introduction of the oxygen in the atomizing gas is effective to enhance the combustion of the sludge by providing an oxygen enriched atmosphere at the point that the sludge is introduced into the combustion zone.
  • This technique is capable of maintaining the furnace flue gas flow rate, carbon monoxide concentrations and overall furnace combustion conditions at design conditions of the furnace for the incineration of only MSW.
